I would not recommend cloud based password manager. We all know what happened to LastPass. But locally encrypted ones are great. I love to use KeePassXC.

Does anyone have recommendation for a password manager that works well on both mobile and desktop? I browse with Firefox and while Lockwise is integrated into Firefox now and works fine on desktop, it's kind of 'eh on mobile in my opinion. It "works" but I find it to be fairly clunky and a lot of the time I need to open the Firefox app and just find the password in there and paste it in.

Does any other application work better for transferring passwords made on desktop to mobile more seamlessly? Looking for better detection of the user/pass via app or website.

I use bit warden and I love it. And yes, I would recommend using a password locker. Just make sure you do some research before selecting one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I finally committed myself to getting BitWarden set up, maybe a year ago. I wish I had done it sooner. I use it to generate all my passwords, and I have it installed on my phone and desktop. I love remembering only one password and knowing all my other passwords are secure. For me it's a no-brainer.

Since i started using KeypassX, My memory just got worse

[–] Artaca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Got a lifetime key for Enpass something like a decade ago and it's been as good as I could ever need. I still rely heavily on autofill via Android & Firefox, but I treat Enpass as the backup to the backup, the one with every last password. I'm meticulous about updating it with every account, every updated password, etc. I also manage all of my wife's passwords as a separate vault.

I use gpg to encrypt my passwords with my public key. Benefit is that adding credentials to a new file doesn't require me to type the master password (password for private key). I trust gpg the most for security.

What's wrong with dashlane? Been using it for years, really don't want to take the effort to move to bitwarden or whatever the flavor of the month is...

Keypass is my ninja. I'm never not using a password manager.

I appreciate Enpass because it allows me to decide where my data is stored while simultaneously synchronizing across all my devices. It's quite impressive. Now, they have incorporated Wi-Fi sync, which eliminates the need for cloud-based synchronization.

[–] xb4r7x 3 points 2 years ago

Absolutely worth it. It's the only way to actually adhere to password best practices.

[–] Sterben 3 points 2 years ago

I started with mSecure for a short time, than switched to 1Password.

Lastly, I turned to Bitwarden which is open source too. I used the free version for a while, but then I paid 10$ for the premium version (mainly to support the team).

I tried NordPass, but Bitwarden it is just objectively better and cheaper.

Now all my logins have random password, additionally I have input my DuckDuckGo API Key to generate random alias within Bitwarden.

[–] SharkyPants 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I would recommend one but I have always been wery about sending password data through the internet to be stored on some companies server. So I put in the effort to host my own Vaultwarden docker instance through TrueNas scale (True charts) on my home server and access it via a VPN tunnel (Wireguard). It's very complicated to setup compared to a web service but this way I own all of my password data locally. The android app (Bitwarden) works alright but sometimes it has trouble understanding what is a login screen and you have to force fill things. Vaultwarden as a docker instance works great. The only time this setup needs to be on VPN is to save a new password. Using existing passwords seem to be cached on my device.

It is an absolute necessity if you use a computer. If you dont have a password manager your accounts are not secure, unless you can memorize randomized passwords. I personally don't like the idea of my most sensitive file (password database), being on someone elses computer. I use KeePassXC to mitigate this, but if you want cloud sync I recommend Bitwarden.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Absolutely necessary In the current times. Be it for peace of mind or to free space in the mind. I've been using Bitwarden for over 5 years and I will never look back. The only password I know is the master password of the vault and don't have to worry about the tens of other stored in there.

The yourselves a favour and just go for it. It will be a million times better.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, it saves on the odd site I use once a year and trying to have to remember that.

[–] Clipboards 3 points 2 years ago

Currently a Bitwarden user at both home & at work. Picked up some Teams licenses for my department earlier this year - Password Managers are absolute essentials for next of kin & for successors at work.

[–] RobinFood 3 points 2 years ago

I’ve been using Bitwarden for years and also use the Apple password manager on my phone and iPad so I have a copy in case something happens.

I also keep some less sensitive work passwords on chrome because I don’t want to open Bitwarden at work.

[–] Joped 3 points 2 years ago

I've been using 1password ever since it was first released on iOS and I gotta say it's awesome! Whatever you use, stay far away from Lastpass ... they are a security nightmare.

[–] Koma52 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Started with Bitwarden years ago, then I used 1password for a few months and now I'm using Keepassxc (Keepass2Android on my phone).

And I recommend everyone to use one. Not necessarily Keepass if they are not very tech savy (database synchronization can be a little bit tricky but not hard). Bitwarden was good too but Keepassxc supports adding ssh keys which is a big plus for me.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer 3 points 2 years ago

Adding generic attachments to a KeePass vault has come in handy.

[–] somethingisnotwrite 3 points 2 years ago

Keeper is a fantastic zero knowledge password manager. Once I started using keeper, I never looked back.
